grog

After Old Grog, nickname of Admiral Edward Vernon (1684-1757), who ordered
diluted rum to be served to his sailors. The admiral earned the nickname from
his habit of wearing a grogram cloak. Grogram is a coarse fabric of silk,
wool, mohair, or a blend of them. The word grogram is from French gros grain
(large grain or texture). Earliest documented use: 1770.

USAGE:

“There were discarded flasks of water and that stinking brown grog.”

“One of my favorite parts about cruising with the Mouse is the ship’s
lack of tolerance for overindulgence in the grog. I don’t believe
drunks have any business being around children. Neither does Disney.”
